Sony headunits are not exactly world renouned for durability. My sugguestion is if it's on warranty, return it. If not, hopefully you'v had it long enough that the new HU smell has worn off. =\

Yes it is possible that the laser simply needs cleaning. It is also possible that the laser in out of alignment. It is also possible that there is something more complex wrong with it. Does it have an error code that gets displayed or does it just say ERROR?

A friend of mine has a Sony Xplod in-dash cassette and trunk-mounted 6 disc changer in her '90 IROC convertible. I don't know the exact models. Do they sound great? No. Is it something I would have suggested if asked? No. Certainly not especially it's in such a nice car. But at the time she got them they matched her interior (important to a very girlie woman, I guess) After being in the car getting used everyday for several years now do they still work? Yep. The CD changer skips kinda bad (did since new) on rough-ish roads but it is in a car with a very stiff suspension and doesn't particularly ride Cadillac smooth.

I was unaware that Walton Enterprises had purchased Sony. Do they own Pioneer, Panasonic, and Rockford Fosgate as well? (seeing as they retail products from each...)

What is better? something that you bought at best buy? Wait, they sell Sony too.

I work at a Sony retailer, and I haven't seen a single Sony unit come back this year for not reading CD's. Hopefully it is still under warranty and you can get it fixed for free, if not it will probably cost more to repair then it is worth.

the problem with your deck is that it is a Sony Xplod. That basically explains it.

If any product is sold at a big box store, it sucks ... duh ... I thought you were smarter than that, Prowler ...
[/sarcasm]

Plus, the guy is from Cairo ... He's probably never even heard of Wal-mart ...

what classifies a big box store?
